Although periodic surges of monsoon moisture brought widespread showers and thunderstorms and locally heavy rains to western Colorado, the general long-term recovery from drought conditions continued at a slow pace. Abnormally dry to severe drought conditions continued to grip Northwest Colorado, while water supply continued to be a concern for the rest of the area due to multiple years of below normal precipitation. For a continuation on this drought situation please see the September 2005 Storm Data publication.
